EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St Louis and the angels" by Andrea della Robbia. The glazed tiles, carefully crafted by Della Robbia in the 15th century, can be found at the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Prato, Italy. The image depicts St Louis IX, the King of France from 1214 to 1270, surrounded by a group of heavenly angels. Dressed in vibrant and detailed costumes, each angel holds a unique pose that exudes grace and serenity. The artist's mastery is evident in every intricate detail of this bas-relief sculpture. The composition captures a moment of benediction as St Louis extends his hand towards one of the angels while holding an episcopal crook—a symbol of his religious authority as a bishop. This portrayal reflects both his royal status within the Capetian dynasty and his deep devotion to Christianity. Andrea della Robbia was renowned for his skillful use of ceramic materials, which allowed him to create stunning works like this one. The colors are richly saturated and beautifully harmonized, adding depth and life to each figure. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Quattrocento period during the Renaissance era, it serves as a testament to Della Robbia's talent as both sculptor and artist. Through this print captured by Stefano Baldini for Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its enduring beauty that continues to inspire awe today.
